NEUROSCIENCE PEARLS

The motor system is somatotopically organized in a functional, hierarchical pattern.

Cortical motor areas are important for planning movements and integrating motor output with sensory input.

Descending motor pathways carry excitatory and inhibitory input to the spinal cord, allowing for purposeful, controlled movements.
